Fragmentary notices on city politics and trade ads
The fragmentary text shows a 1690s London city election note for Chamberlain with rival candidates, then a Utrecht lottery warning and a Royal Fire Office notice. It also advertises quack cures, beautifying fluids, a scurvy remedy, and a variety of maps and toys sold in London shops with prices and delivery details.
